You will still need to have server virus protection. Groupshield only protects the SMTP traffic and the mailboxes. McAfee has a product called Netshield for server protection. It works great also. You can have them both send notifications to an alert server that then sends you emails, pages, computer pop-up messages etc to alert you of problems. -----Original Message----- From: Lawrence Lopez [mailto:ls_lopez@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, March 23, 2002 2:27 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: blocking exe, vbf and others http://www.MSExchange.org/ I'd like to know if this virus scanner also protects the whole server itself. Or is it just made especially for exchange? What if we're using a different mail server (like SBC)? Please discuss the limitations and more advantages of the product aside from what was mentioned in the email of Mr. Overfield re: this matter. Have A Nice Day!
